Subject: RE: Switch out Clip-Ons for Vision TT Base Bar You can get a wheel cover from www.wheelbuilder.com for 100 dollars. That will make your rear wheel 95% as aero as any HED or Zipp disc.
Look at Thomson Setback posts as well as the Profile Fast Forwards. You can turn the Thomson around and it is very similar, possibly not quite as steep, as the Profile. Plus they often go for less then the Profiles on ebay.
If you don't want to bother with changing shifters and cables and the entire cockpit, a set of nice clip on aero bars will be nearly as aero as putting a basebar+aero bar setup and will save you a lot of money. The important thing is that you get into the aero position, that will make a much larger difference compared to having a base bar or drop bars.
And I cannot tell if you are talking about Vison integrated bars where the aero bars and base bar is one piece. I would not recommend these as there is no adjustability.
Getting the disc instead of the base bar+shifters+brake levers+cables+housing would be roughly the same price and save you more time then not getting the disc and going with the new cockpit. |
